thoroughly disbelieve that 4 man is
any better for having in his youth
passed through all experience that
developed his animal nature and his
lustful appetite. Excess in youth,
in regard to animal indulgencies,
is bankruptcy in old age.
For this reason | depreciate late
hours, irregular hours or irregular
sleep. People ask me frequently.
DO You think that there is any harm
in dancing?' No, 1 do not. There
is much good in it. DO you, then,
object to dancing parties p No; in
themselves do not. But where un.
knit youth, unripe muscle, unsettled
and unnardened nerves are put
through IN excess Of excitement,
treated with stimul&nts, fed irregu-
ularly and with unwholesome food,
surrounded with gayety which is ex.
cessive and which is protracted
through hours when they should be
asleep, | object, not because Of the
dancing but because of the dissipa-
ton. 1t is taking the timetbat un.
questionably was intended for sleep,
and spending it in the highest state
Of exhilaration and excitement. The
harm is not in the dancing itself; for
if they danced as do the peasants, in
the open air, upon the grass under the
trees, and in the day, it might be
commended, not as virtuous, bat as
still belonging to those negative
things thst may be beautiful. But

fulncss--I will not say of precious
hours, for hours are not half so pre-
cious as nerves are-the dissipation,

ful that there are forty days of Lent
in the year when folks can rest from
their debauches and dissipations;
when no round of excessive excite
ment in the pursuit of pleasure is
permitted to come in and ruin the
health and cripple the natural pow
ers Of the young.
Il rejoice to say that was brought
up from my youth to abstain from
tobacco. It is unhealthy; it is filthy
from beginning to end. In rare
cases, where there is already some
unhealthy or morbid tendency in the
system, it is possible that it may be
used with some benefit; but ordi-
narily it is unhealthy. I believe
that the day will come when young
man will be proud Of not being ad-
dicted to the use Of stimulants Of
any kind. I believe that the day
will come when not to drink, not to
use tobacco, not to waste ones
strength in the secret indulgence of
passion, but to be true to ones ma
ture, true to Gods law, to be sound,
robust, cheerful. and to he conscious
that these elements of health and
strength are derived from the rev.
erent obedience Of the command
ments Of God, will be a matter of
ambition and endeavor among men,"

Average per acre, 767 pounds of
fertilizer; 2,066 pounds of lint.
The enormous yield of 1885 was
thus increased nearly 80 per cent. in
1886, the record of 664 bales on 20
acres being raised to 90 bales, or
from 81 bales to nearly S bales per
acre. These figures cannot be ques-
toned, nor can their Importance be
readily overestimated. Every farm
er cannot raise 5 bales of cotton to
the acre, nor even 81 bales, but if
any farmer continues to raise one.
third of bale to the acre, as is about
the average perhaps throughout the
South, the fault is plainly in his man
agement, or lack of management, and
not in the land which he neglects,
and then blames for his own faults
and failures.
In the contest which led to the re.
suits we have published, about two
hundred farmers took part, the num-
Der being distributed, it is stated,
throughout the three States of Geor'
gia, Alabama and Carolina. The
average yield obtained by the two
hundred, in 1885, was 1872 pounds of
lint to the acre, or more than ] bales.
The acreage obtained by the same
number of contestants last year was
$50 pounds Of lint to the acre, or
considerably over two bales.
1t will be noticed at once that the
total increase from 66k bales in 1885
to 81 bales in 1886, obtained from
20 acres by the four leading contest
ants, followed a corresponding in.
crease in the total number of pounds
of fertilizer used. 1t would be a
mistake to conclude from this fact,
however, that success was determined
or measured in any case by the
amount of fertilizer applied. The
largest yield obtained in 1886 from
five acres was obtained by Mr.. J. C.
Sims, of Hogansville, Ga., who used
400 pounds of fertilizer per acre; and
the smallest yield obtained by any OF
the four leading contestants in that
wear was that obtained by Mr. George
". Truitt, Of LAGRANGE, Ca, who
used 1910 pounds per acre. One
ton.on five acres gave Mr.. Sims lO,-
SS7 pounds of lint. The whole cost
Of the fertilizer in this case $50, and
the cotton obtained was worth $500.
Neaaly equally good results were OBJ
tanned by Messrs. Ray and Pyson,
who used but little more fertilizer.
Mr.. Truitt applied nearly four tons,
and did not reach as good a result
by about 1000 pounds.
Another conclusion to be derived
from the record, as a whole, is that
the success obtained did not depend
upon locality. TWO hundred farms,
scattered throughout three States,
made an average of two bales to the
acre on FIVE acre patches. This
demonstrates" as the Constitution
we'll says, that the average lands
throughout the South, taken any
where and properly treated, will pro-
duce two bales of cotton to the acre,
instead of one bale to three acres"

Experimental Stations on the Farm
INers aud Courier.

The complaint has been freely
made that the last two seasons were
particularly unfavorable to the cotton
and corn crops in this part of the
country, and unsuccessful farmers
have generally attributed their f
ure to this cause. What can be &C.
complished, however, even in such
seasons, by intelligent methods, in
cluding deep plougbing and thorough
cultivation, has been strikingly de.
monstrated by number of farmers
in Middle Georgia. the results of
whose experiments have been record.
ed in the Atlanta Constitution, and
have attracted widespread attention.
The facts tell their own story, and
are as follows:
Two or three years ago q prolni.
nent fertilizer manufacturing house
of Atlanta offered premiums for the
best yield Of cotton and corn on one
acre and five acres. In 1885 four of
the leading contestants made 66I
bales of cotton on twenty acres, an
average Of 81 bales of $50 pounds
per acre. The names of the four
farmers, the amount::of fertilizer used
by each on the FIVE acres cultivated
by him. and the yield Of lint OBJ
tanned from the FIVE acres were as
follows:
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1887-04-14

Average per acre $50 pounds Of
fertilizer; 1,493 pounds of lint cotton.
This result. was considered to be
80 remarkable that it was said by tue
farmers who were interested in the
contest that it could never be beaten.
It was badly beaten the next year,
when the four leading contestants
made the following record on twenty
acres:

his peculiar needs. The chair itself
was high backed, well-rounded and
cushioned, and in front of it extended a
cushioned platform on which Mr.. Jeffer-
son found it very pleasant to stretch his
legs, being sometimes troubled with
Bwellings of the smaller veins of these
limbs. The writing table was so made
that it could be drawn up over this
platform, legs and all, and pushed down
when not in use. The top of the table
turned on pivot; on one side of 1t were
his writing materials, and on the other
was tho, little apparatus by which
tiers. BY his side was another re-
FOlving table. on which his books of
reference lay, or were held open at
proper angles. Near him also stood a
pair of large globes; and, if he wished
to study anything outside OF this world,
he had i'll the room two long telescopes
mounted on brass tripods. Convenient
also were his viOlins, one Ceremonial
and the other a bass yiol saved from the
Shadwell fire. Besides the boOkshelves
and the somewhat simple furniture of
the library. there were number of
oddly cOntrived little closets, in which
Were stored his muititudinOus manu-
scripts. There is writing table now

was frequently used by Mr.. Jefferson,
and which is ingeniously cOntrived.
Two of its four legs are hollow,
nd in these run rods resting upon
springs by which the table can be easily
elevated, the other two legs being also
eXtensible, but in different way.
When Mr.. Jefferson was tired of writ
ing in sitting position he could stand
up and rOise this table to the desired
height. When he wished to use it as
reading stand the top could be inclined
at any angle, and strip of brass was
brought into use to keep the books and
papers from sliding off.
Opening from the library was large
room inclOsed with glass, which was in
tended for a conservatory, but was used
by Mr.. Jefferson as his work room.
There he had a workbench with all
sorts of caprenter'S tools, with which he
constructed a great many of the small
cOnvenieneeS he invented.
